Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of edible fungi cultivation equipment, specifically relating to a mushroom stick hanging device. Background Technology
[0002] In three-dimensional cultivation of edible fungi, the quality and efficiency of hanging mushroom sticks are core factors restricting industrial upgrading. Currently, the hanging of mushroom sticks nationwide is still dominated by manual operation, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. The utility model patent "A Greenhouse Mushroom Stick Hanging Device" (application number 202323238683.8, authorization announcement number CN221887308U) discloses a hanging device that improves the quality and efficiency of hanging to some extent and avoids finger fatigue caused by manually separating the hanging ropes. However, two main problems affecting work efficiency and hanging quality, and leading to high labor intensity—manually determining the center of the mushroom stick (patent 202323238683.8 only plays an auxiliary role) and manually placing the clips—still exist. Especially before manually placing the clips, the hanging ropes need to be clamped tightly; as the number of mushroom sticks increases, the clamping force also gradually increases, and the damage to the fingers caused by the thin hanging ropes is self-evident. Faced with these problems, it is essential to design and develop a mushroom stick hanging device. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings and deficiencies of manual mushroom stick hanging by hand by providing a reasonably designed and low-cost mushroom stick hanging device. This device can mechanize most of the steps in the hanging process, such as separating the hanging rope, determining the center of the mushroom stick, clamping the hanging rope, and placing the buckle.
[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A mushroom stick hanging device includes a supporting base plate, on which a liftable working platform is provided. The working platform is equipped with a hanging rope clamping component, a rope separating and positioning component, and a buckle placement component. Through these components, the mushroom stick hanging operation can be completed cyclically as the working platform moves upward.
[0006] In the above technical solution, the rope separating and positioning component includes a mushroom stick placement bucket and a rope guide ear. The mushroom stick placement bucket is a U-shaped bucket with an opening on the side and is vertically installed through the work platform. The rope guide ear is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the mushroom stick placement bucket, and the rope passes through the rope guide ear from top to bottom.
[0007] In the above technical solution, the hanging rope clamping assembly includes a worm, a worm wheel, a shift wheel, a rack, a clamping rod, and a return spring. A vertical keyway is formed on the screw. The worm is a hollow structure, and its inner wall slides into the vertical keyway on the screw via a key. The bottom of the worm is mounted on a nut via a thrust ball bearing, and an annular groove is formed at the lower end of the worm. A transverse screw is fixed on the nut, with the smooth part at the front end of the screw embedded in the annular groove of the worm. The worm wheel meshes with the worm, and the worm wheel and the shift wheel are mounted together on a shaft. The shaft is mounted on a working platform. The shift wheel intermittently meshes with the moving rack, which is mounted on a guide rail on the working platform. Driven by the shift wheel, the moving rack can move along the guide rail towards the mushroom stick placement bucket. A clamping rod is provided on the side of the moving rack facing the mushroom stick placement bucket for capturing and clamping the hanging rope. A return spring is installed on the clamping rod to provide elastic force to the moving rack away from the mushroom stick placement bucket.
[0008] In the above technical solution, the snap-fit placement assembly includes a snap-fit container, a snap-fit pusher, a base, a left stop pin, a right stop pin, and a support base. The snap-fit container has snap-fit shaped slots in which rows of snap-fits are placed. The bottom sides of the snap-fit container are fixedly connected to the base, and the snap-fit pusher is located between the snap-fit container and the base. The left side of the base has a hole that connects to a left vertical shaft fixed on the working platform. A left stop pin is provided in contact with the base to prevent the base from rotating the snap-fit container and the snap-fit pusher towards the mushroom stick placement bucket. The bottom of the base has a stop arc. The support base is symmetrical to the base, installed on the right vertical shaft, and forms a rotating joint with the right vertical shaft. The right vertical shaft is fixedly connected to the working platform. A right stop pin is provided in contact with the support base to prevent the support base from rotating away from the mushroom stick placement bucket. The outer edge of the support base is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped outer edge of the support base cooperates with the stop arc of the base to keep the snap-fit placement assembly in a fixed and correct working position.
[0009] In the above technical solution, the work platform moves up and down through a lifting drive mechanism. The lifting drive mechanism consists of a motor, a bevel gear set, a screw, and a lifting guide rail. The screw and the lifting guide rail are both vertically mounted on the support base plate. The motor is fixedly mounted on the support base plate and is connected to the screw via the bevel gear set. A nut is threaded onto the screw and is fixedly connected to the work platform. The work platform is also connected to a sliding sleeve on the lifting guide rail.
[0010] In the above technical solution, wheels are installed on the bottom surface of the supporting base plate to facilitate the movement of the entire mushroom stick hanging device.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the hanging rope guide ear is U-shaped and the opening direction is consistent with the opening direction of the mushroom stick placement bucket, so that when the mushroom stick is finished hanging, the mushroom stick placement bucket can be removed along with the whole device (when hanging the mushroom stick, the mushroom stick hanging device can be moved so that the hanging rope has a slight pressure on the hanging rope guide ear to prevent the hanging rope from coming off the hanging rope guide ear).
[0012] In the above technical solution, a groove is opened in the lower part of the mushroom stick placement bucket. The groove is located above the working platform, which facilitates the hanging rope to enter from the outside to the inside of the mushroom stick placement bucket to tie the mushroom stick. At the same time, it is convenient for the clamping rod to enter into the semi-circular space of the mushroom stick placement bucket to clamp the hanging rope.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the top of the moving rack is provided with a toothed section and a stop arc section. Correspondingly, the actuating protrusion on the actuating wheel is provided with a tooth and an arc. The tooth of the actuating wheel first actuates the toothed section of the moving rack, causing the moving rack to move to the desired position. Then, as the actuating wheel continues to rotate, the arc of the actuating wheel slides into contact with the stop arc section of the moving rack, causing the moving rack to continue to maintain at that position, thereby causing the clamping rod to continue to clamp, allowing sufficient time for the buckle to be placed. When the actuating wheel and the moving rack disengage, the clamping rod and the moving rack return to their original positions under the action of the return spring.
[0014] In the above technical solution, the end of the clamping rod is concave, which facilitates accurate capture and clamping of the hanging rope.
[0015] In the above technical solution, there is a rectangular recessed groove at the front top of the snap-on pusher, and a through groove is opened in the middle of the recessed groove; the snap-on pusher is slidably connected to the base, and a push plate is provided at the rear of the snap-on pusher; when the snap-on pusher retracts to the limiting block on the bottom plate, the recessed groove on the snap-on pusher is opposite to the snap-shaped through groove on the snap-on container, and a single snap falls into the recessed groove.
[0016] The advantages and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0017] This invention uses a mechanical rope-separating and positioning method, avoiding manual rope-separating and manual centering of the mushroom sticks, thus facilitating the placement of the mushroom sticks.
[0018] This invention uses a mechanical hanging rope clamping method to avoid injury to the fingers caused by the rebound force of the hanging rope under the gravity of the multi-strain stick.
[0019] This invention uses a mechanical snap-fit placement method, which is simple to operate and saves time and effort.
[0020] Overall, the mushroom stick hanging device is driven by a single motor, has a simple structure, and low cost. Its use can improve work efficiency, hanging quality, and reduce work intensity. Attached Figure Description

[0034] For those skilled in the art, other related figures can be obtained from the above figures without any creative effort. Detailed Implementation
[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0036] This embodiment designs a mushroom stick hanging device, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the mushroom stick hanging device includes a supporting base plate 2, on which a liftable working platform 4 is provided. That is, the working platform 4 moves up and down through a lifting drive mechanism.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting drive mechanism comprises a motor 3, a bevel gear set (driving bevel gear 13 and driven bevel gear 14), a screw 12, and a lifting guide rail 22, wherein the screw 12 and the lifting guide rail 22 are both vertically mounted on the support base plate 2 (e.g., Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the bottom end of the lifting guide rail 22 is fixedly installed on the support base plate 2 via a disc-shaped connector 49, and the bottom end of the screw 12 is installed on the support base plate 2 via a thrust ball bearing 16 and an angular contact ball bearing 15. The height of the screw 12 and the lifting guide rail 22 depends on the height of the hanging rod. The top end of the screw 12 is connected to the lifting guide rail 22 via a bearing 50 and a connector 24 to enhance rigidity. The motor 3 is fixedly installed on the support base plate 2 and is connected to the screw 12 via a bevel gear set, thereby driving the screw 12 to rotate. A nut 48 is installed on the screw 12 via a threaded fit. The nut 48 is fixedly connected to the working platform 4, and the working platform 4 is connected to the sliding sleeve 23 on the lifting guide rail 22. Thus, when the screw 12 rotates, the working platform 4 will move up and down along the lifting guide rail 22.
[0038] Furthermore, wheels 1 are installed on the bottom surface of the supporting base plate 2 to facilitate the movement of the entire mushroom stick hanging device.
[0039] The liftable work platform 4 is equipped with a rope clamping component, a rope separating and positioning component, and a buckle placement component. Through these components, the mushroom stick hanging operation can be completed cyclically during the upward movement of the work platform 4.
[0040] The following details the structure of the lanyard clamping assembly, the lanyard separating and positioning assembly, and the buckle placement assembly:
[0041] 1. Rope splitting and positioning components
[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rope separating and positioning component includes a mushroom stick placement bucket 29 and a rope guide ear 45. The mushroom stick placement bucket 29 is a U-shaped container with an opening on the side. Its semicircular part 52 facilitates the positioning of the mushroom sticks, and its straight part 53 facilitates the placement of the mushroom sticks. The straight part 53 also prevents the rope from accidentally detaching from the rope guide ear 45 and entering the semicircular space of the mushroom stick placement bucket 29, which would hinder rope separating. The mushroom stick placement bucket 29 is vertically installed on the working platform 4. The lower part 54 of the working platform 4 of the mushroom stick placement bucket 29 can stabilize the mushroom sticks 46 that have just been placed in, making it easy to clamp the rope. The upper part 56 of the working platform 4 of the mushroom stick placement bucket 29 is equal to the height of the mushroom sticks, which facilitates the positioning of the mushroom sticks to be placed in and also serves as a rope separating mechanism, making it easier to place the mushroom sticks.
[0043] The hanging rope guide ears 45 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the mushroom stick placement bucket 29. The hanging rope must pass through the hanging rope guide ears 45 from top to bottom to ensure the stability of the hanging rope position. The hanging rope guide ears 45 are U-shaped and the opening direction is consistent with the opening direction of the mushroom stick placement bucket 29, so that the mushroom stick placement bucket 29 can be removed along with the entire device when the mushroom sticks are hung (when hanging the mushroom sticks, the mushroom stick hanging device can be moved to make the hanging rope exert some pressure on the hanging rope guide ears 45 to prevent the hanging rope from coming off the hanging rope guide ears 45).
[0044] The lower part of the mushroom stick placement bucket 29 has a groove 57. The groove 57 is located above the working platform 4, which facilitates the hanging rope to enter from the outside to the inside of the mushroom stick placement bucket 29 to tie the mushroom sticks. At the same time, it is convenient for the clamping rod 18 to enter the semi-circular space of the mushroom stick placement bucket 29 to clamp the hanging rope.
[0045] 2. Rope clamping assembly
[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the rope clamping assembly includes a worm gear 10, a worm wheel 9, a turning wheel 7, a rack 5, a clamping rod 18, and a return spring 17. There is one set of rope clamping assemblies on each side of the screw 12. A vertical keyway 11 is opened on the screw 12. The worm gear 10 is a hollow structure. The inner wall of the worm gear 10 slides with the vertical keyway 11 on the screw 12 through a key. The bottom of the worm gear 10 is mounted on the nut 48 through a thrust ball bearing 21. An annular groove 20 is opened at the lower end of the worm gear 10. A horizontal screw 19 is fixedly installed on the nut 48. The smooth part of the front end of the screw 19 is embedded in the annular groove 20 of the worm gear 10. When the nut 48 and the working platform 4 are raised and lowered, the screw 19 can make the worm gear 10 and the nut 48 rise and fall synchronously. The worm gear 10 and the nut 48 also have rotational freedom. In this way, when the screw 12 rotates, the worm 10 can rotate synchronously with the screw 12, and at the same time, the worm 10 will move up and down synchronously with the working platform 4 along the axial direction of the screw 12.
[0047] The worm gear 9 meshes with the worm 10. The worm gear 9 and the actuating wheel 7 are mounted together on the shaft 8. The shaft 8 is mounted on the working platform 4 through a set of bearing seats 25 and 28. The actuating wheel 7 intermittently meshes with the moving rack 5. The moving rack 5 is mounted on the guide rail 28 on the working platform 4. Driven by the actuating wheel 7, it can move along the guide rail 28 toward the mushroom stick placement bucket 29. A clamping rod 18 is provided on the side of the moving rack 5 facing the mushroom stick placement bucket 29. The end 181 of the clamping rod 18 is concave to facilitate accurate capture and clamping of the hanging rope 44. A return spring 17 is installed on the clamping rod 18. A stop block 55 is provided at the end of the return spring 17 near the mushroom stick placement bucket 29. The stop block 55 is fixed on the working platform 4. The return spring 17 provides elastic force to the moving rack 5 away from the mushroom stick placement bucket 29.
[0048] The upward movement of the working platform 4 is the working stroke: During this process, when the screw 12 rotates, the nut 48 and the working platform 4 move upward. The worm 10 rotates with the screw 12 and moves upward with the working platform 4. The worm 10 meshes with the worm wheel 9. The rotation of the worm wheel 9 drives the coaxially mounted actuating wheel 7 to rotate. The actuating wheel 7 intermittently meshes with the moving rack 5. During meshing, it drives the moving rack 5 and the clamping rod 18 mounted on the moving rack 5 to move towards the mushroom stick placement bucket 29, thereby completing the rope clamping operation through the clamping rod 18. After clamping, the distance between the two hanging ropes 44 is less than the distance at the end of the buckle 40 (e.g., ...). Figure 13 (As shown). The working platform 4 rises to a set height (the height of the mushroom logs + the distance between the mushroom logs), the worm gear 9 rotates one revolution, and the clamping rod 18 completes one clamping operation. For further details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 and attached Figure 6 The top of the moving rack 5 is provided with a toothed section 501 and a stop arc section 502. Correspondingly, the actuating protrusion on the actuating wheel 7 is provided with a toothed section and an arc. The toothed section of the actuating wheel 7 first moves the toothed section 501 of the moving rack 5, causing the moving rack 5 to move to the desired position. Then, as the actuating wheel 7 continues to rotate, the arc of the actuating wheel 7 slides into contact with the stop arc section 502 of the moving rack 5, keeping the moving rack 5 in that position. This allows the clamping rod 18 to continue clamping, providing sufficient time for the buckle 40 to be placed. When the actuating wheel 7 and the moving rack 5 disengage, the clamping rod 18 and the moving rack 5 quickly return to their original positions under the action of the return spring 17, so as not to obstruct the placement of the mushroom stick.
[0049] The downward stroke of the working platform 4 is a no-load stroke: During this process, the actuating wheel 7 reverses, and the moving rack 5, under the action of the return spring 17, never engages with the actuating wheel 7, and the clamping rod 18 remains stationary.
[0050] 3. Clip-on placement component
[0051] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the snap-fit placement assembly includes a snap-fit container 33, a snap-fit pusher 34, a base 41, a left stop pin 39, a right stop pin 32, and a support base 30.
[0052] The snap-fit container 33 is provided with a snap-fit shaped through groove 331. Figure 7A row of buckles 40 are placed inside. Under the action of gravity, the buckles 40 can move downwards; the bottom sides of the buckle holder 33 are fixedly connected to the base 41, and the buckle pusher 34 is located between the buckle holder 33 and the base 41. The main body is rectangular. There is a rectangular groove 43 above the front of the buckle pusher 34. The length and depth of the groove are consistent with the overall length and height of the buckles 40, so that only one buckle 40 falls in and ensures that the buckle 40 is in the correct and stable position. The width of the groove 43 is larger than the width of the buckles 40 to prevent the buckles from falling off when pushing; a through groove 431 is opened in the middle of the groove 43. The length of the through groove 431 is longer than the distance between the ends of the buckles 40, so that when the buckle pusher 34 is withdrawn, the hanging rope 44 intercepts the buckles 40 and keeps them.
[0053] The bottom of the snap-on pusher 34 is convex, and it contacts the guide rail plane 38 on the base 41 to form a movable connection, so as to facilitate the snap-on pusher 34 to push and pull back and forth. The rear of the snap-on pusher 34 is provided with a push plate 37, which can serve as a push-pull arm and also touch the snap-on holder 33 when pushed into place to avoid over-pushing. When the snap-on pusher 34 retracts, it touches the limit block 36 on the base plate 41 and retracts into place. At this time, the recess 43 on the snap-on pusher 34 is exactly opposite to the snap-on through groove 331 on the snap-on holder 33, and another snap 40 falls into the recess 43.
[0054] The upper middle part of the base 41 has a guide rail 38, along which the buckle pusher 34 can be pushed and pulled back and forth. The upper rear sides of the base 41 are provided with positioning blocks 36 to prevent the buckle pusher 34 from retracting too much and causing the buckle to fall outside the sink 43. The left side of the base 41 is provided with a hole 411, which is connected to the left vertical shaft 42 fixed on the working platform 4. In contact with the base 41, there is a left stop pin 39, which is used to prevent the base 41 from driving the buckle holding part 33 and the buckle pusher 34 to rotate towards the mushroom stick placement bucket 29. The bottom of the base 41 is provided with a stop arc 35. During operation, the stop arc 35 cooperates with the arc-shaped outer edge of the support base 30 and works together with the left stop pin 39 and the right stop pin 32 to keep the buckle placement component in a fixed and correct working position.
[0055] The support base 30 is symmetrical to the base 41 and is installed on the right vertical shaft 31, forming a rotating joint connection with the right vertical shaft; the right vertical shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the working platform 4; a right stop pin 32 is provided in contact with the support base 30, which is used to prevent the support base 30 from rotating away from the mushroom stick placement bucket 29; the outer edge of the support base 30 is arc-shaped. During operation, the support base 30 rotates to the bottom of the base 41 and contacts the base 41, providing support for the base 41. At the same time, the arc-shaped outer edge of the support base 30 cooperates with the stop arc 35 of the base 41 to keep the buckle placement component in a fixed and correct working position.
[0056] Furthermore, as a preferred method, in order to maintain the balance of the work platform 4, a left counterweight 61 and a right counterweight 62 are provided on the work platform 4.
[0057] Furthermore, as a preferred method, the mushroom stick hanging device is generally horizontally movable. In the non-working state, without external force, the locking and placing components will not rotate on their own; however, for safety reasons, a fixing device can be installed.
[0058] The working process of the mushroom stick hanging device of the present invention is as follows:
[0059] 1. To maintain the balance of the work platform 4, the mass and position of the left counterweight 61 and right counterweight 62 are set on the work platform 4 according to the actual situation. Consider whether to install a fixing device for the snap-fit component in its non-working state, based on the actual work site conditions and device transportation.
[0060] 2. Determine the initial placement location of the mushroom substrate based on the actual situation. Using the height of the work platform as a reference, prioritize one of the two options: Option 1 (…) Figure 5 In option a), when the bottom of the mushroom stick 46 is flush with the working platform, adjust the initial engagement position of the actuating wheel 7 and the moving rack 5 so that they are in the initial engagement position, i.e., the hanging operation begins from clamping the hanging rope 44. Option two ( Figure 5 In step b), when the bottom of the mushroom stick 46 is flush with the working platform, adjust the initial engagement position of the actuating wheel 7 and the moving rack 5 so that the actuating wheel 7 is about to retract and contact the stop arc 6 of the actuating rack 5. That is, the stick hanging operation starts from the end of the clamping operation.
[0061] 3. Both the screw 12 and the nut 48 are right-hand threads, as are the worm and worm wheel. During the upward movement of the working platform 4, the rotation output of the motor 3 causes the screw 12 to rotate clockwise.
[0062] Preparations begin by pushing the mushroom stick hanging device to the work site, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 12 As shown, the snap-fit assembly is rotated from its non-working state to its working state. During operation, first rotate the base 41 counterclockwise; the snap-fit holder 33 and snap-fit pusher 34 mounted on the base 41 rotate accordingly. After rotating 180°, the rotation stops under the action of the left-side stop pin 39. Next, rotate the support base 30 counterclockwise; when it reaches 180°, the rotation stops under the action of the right-side stop pin 32. The support base 30 rotates to the bottom of the base 41, contacting the base 41 and providing support. Simultaneously, the arc-shaped outer edge of the support base 30 engages with the stop arc 35 of the base 41, ensuring the snap-fit assembly remains in a fixed, correct working position.
[0063] 4. Taking Scheme 1 as an example. Place the first mushroom stick, and at the same time adjust the height of the hanging rope 44, and separate the hanging rope 44 so that it is in the hanging rope guide ears 45 on both sides of the mushroom stick placement bucket 29. At this time, the mushroom stick hanging device can be moved so that the hanging rope has a slight pressure on the hanging rope guide ears 45 to prevent the hanging rope from coming off the hanging rope guide ears 45.
[0064] Start motor 3 to begin operation. Figure 1 As shown, the motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 2, and a drive bevel gear 13 is mounted on its output shaft. The drive bevel gear 13 meshes with the driven bevel gear 14, driving the screw 12 to rotate. The nut 48 is screwed into the screw 12 and fixedly connected to the work platform 4. When the screw 12 rotates, it drives the nut 48 and the work platform 4 to move upward along the lifting guide rail 22 of the work platform.
[0065] At this time, the actuating wheel 7 and the moving rack 5 are in the initial engagement position, and the rope clamping assembly begins to move.
[0066] When screw 12 rotates, worm 10 rotates with screw 12 and moves upward with work platform 4. Worm 10 meshes with worm wheel 9. Worm wheel 9 rotates, driving the coaxial actuating wheel 7 to rotate. Actuating wheel 7 meshes with moving rack 5, driving moving rack 5 and clamping rod 18 mounted on moving rack 5 to move, completing the rope clamping operation. After clamping, the distance between the two ropes 44 is less than the distance at the end of buckle 40 (e.g., ...). Figure 13 (As shown). The moving rack 5 has a stop arc 6, which allows the clamping rod 18 to be continuously clamped, giving the buckle enough time to be placed.
[0067] After the lanyard is clamped, the buckle is placed. Pushing the push plate 37 at the rear of the buckle pusher 34 will cause the buckle pusher 34 to move forward along the guide rail 38 on the base 41, carrying the buckle 40 that has fallen into its recess 43. Pushing continues until the push plate 37 contacts the buckle holder 33, where the push is blocked, the pusher 34 is in place, and the buckle 40 is in contact with the clamped lanyard 44. Figure 13 a.
[0068] The actuating wheel 9 disengages from the moving rack 5, and under the action of the return spring 17, the clamping rod 18 and the moving rack 5 quickly return to their original positions, and the clamping rod retracts. Figure 13 b.
[0069] Pulling the push plate 37 causes the pusher 34 to retract, and the hanging rope 44, with its rebound force, blocks and retains the buckle 40, causing it to be fastened to the buckle. Figure 13 c. Complete the buckle placement operation.
[0070] The latch pusher 34 retracts and stops when it encounters the positioning blocks 36 on both sides of the upper rear of the base 41. The recess 43 on the latch pusher 34 is then in the correct position. Another latch 40 falls into it.
[0071] 5. Place the mushroom substrate. Another work cycle begins.
[0072] 6. When the mushroom stick hanging operation is finished, rotate the buckle placement component back to the non-working state. First, rotate the support base 30 clockwise until it reaches 180° and encounters the right-side stop pin 32, at which point the rotation stops. Then, rotate the base 41 clockwise and rotate the buckle holder 33 and buckle pusher 34 mounted on it until it reaches 180°, at which point the rotation stops under the action of the left-side stop pin 39.
[0073] Push the mushroom stick hanging device in the opposite direction of the opening of the U-shaped hanging rope guide ear 45, so that the hanging rope 44 is separated from the hanging rope guide ears 45 on the left and right sides of the mushroom stick placement bucket 29.
[0074] 7. The motor reverses, driving the work platform down to its lowest position. During this process, screw 19 enters the smooth rod portion in the annular groove 20, which, together with the gravity of the worm gear, drives the worm gear down. Simultaneously, the actuating wheel reverses, and the moving rack 5, under the action of the return spring 17, never engages with the actuating wheel 7. The clamping rod 18 remains stationary.
[0075] 8. The finishing touches for hanging this mushroom log are now complete.
[0076] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” are used in the embodiments to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figures relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientations shown in the figures, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, an element described as being “down” of other elements or features would be positioned “up” of those other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term “down” can encompass both up and down orientations. The device may be positioned in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0077] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are used merely to distinguish one component from another that has the same name, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between the components.
[0078] The present invention has been described above by way of example. It should be noted that any simple modifications, alterations or other equivalent substitutions that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort without departing from the core of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Claims
1. A mushroom stick hanging device, characterized in that: It includes a supporting base plate, on which a liftable working platform is installed. The working platform is equipped with a rope clamping component, a rope separating and positioning component, and a buckle placement component. Through these components, the mushroom stick hanging operation can be completed cyclically during the upward movement of the working platform. The rope separating and positioning component includes a mushroom stick placement bucket and a rope guide ear. The mushroom stick placement bucket is a U-shaped bucket with an opening on the side and is vertically installed through the work platform. The rope guide ear is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the mushroom stick placement bucket, and the rope passes through the rope guide ear from top to bottom. The rope clamping assembly includes a worm, a worm wheel, a shift wheel, a rack, a clamping rod, and a return spring. A vertical keyway is formed on the screw. The worm is hollow, and its inner wall slides into the vertical keyway via a key. The bottom of the worm is mounted on a nut via a thrust ball bearing, and an annular groove is formed at the lower end of the worm. A transverse screw is fixed to the nut, with the smooth end of the screw embedded in the annular groove of the worm. The worm wheel meshes with the worm, and the worm wheel and the shift wheel are mounted together on a shaft on a working platform. The shift wheel intermittently meshes with the moving rack, which is mounted on a guide rail on the working platform. Driven by the shift wheel, the moving rack can move along the guide rail towards the mushroom substrate container. A clamping rod is provided on the side of the moving rack facing the mushroom substrate container to capture and clamp the rope. A return spring is installed on the clamping rod to provide elastic force to the moving rack away from the mushroom substrate container. The snap-fit placement assembly includes a snap-fit container, a snap-fit pusher, a base, a left stop pin, a right stop pin, and a support base. The snap-fit container has snap-fit shaped slots into which rows of snaps are placed. The bottom sides of the snap-fit container are fixedly connected to the base, and the snap-fit pusher is located between the snap-fit container and the base. The left side of the base has a hole that connects to a left vertical shaft fixed to the working platform. A left stop pin is located in contact with the base to prevent the base from rotating the snap-fit container and snap-fit pusher towards the mushroom substrate container. A stop arc is located at the bottom of the base. The support base is symmetrical to the base, mounted on the right vertical shaft, and forms a rotating joint with it. The right vertical shaft is fixedly connected to the working platform. A right stop pin is located in contact with the support base to prevent the support base from rotating away from the mushroom substrate container. The outer edge of the support base is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped outer edge of the support base cooperates with the stop arc of the base to maintain the snap-fit placement assembly in a fixed and correct working position. The top of the moving rack is provided with a toothed section and a stop arc section. Correspondingly, the actuating protrusion on the actuating wheel is provided with a toothed section and an arc. The toothed section of the actuating wheel first moves the toothed section of the moving rack to the desired position. Then, as the actuating wheel continues to rotate, the arc of the actuating wheel slides into contact with the stop arc section of the moving rack, keeping the moving rack in that position. This keeps the clamping rod clamping, allowing sufficient time for the buckle to be placed. When the actuating wheel and the moving rack disengage, the clamping rod and the moving rack return to their original positions under the action of the return spring.
2. The mushroom stick hanging device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The work platform moves up and down via a lifting drive mechanism. The lifting drive mechanism consists of a motor, a bevel gear set, a screw, and a lifting guide rail. The screw and the lifting guide rail are both vertically mounted on the support base plate. The motor is fixedly mounted on the support base plate and is connected to the screw via the bevel gear set. A nut is threaded onto the screw and is fixedly connected to the work platform. The work platform is also connected to a sliding sleeve on the lifting guide rail.
3. The mushroom stick hanging device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The hanging rope guide ear is U-shaped, and the opening direction is consistent with the opening direction of the mushroom stick placement bucket, so that the mushroom stick placement bucket can be removed along with the whole device when the hanging is finished.
4. The mushroom stick hanging device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The lower part of the mushroom stick placement bucket has a groove located above the working platform, which facilitates the insertion of the hanging rope from the outside to the inside of the mushroom stick placement bucket to tie the mushroom sticks. At the same time, it also facilitates the insertion of the clamping rod into the semi-circular space of the mushroom stick placement bucket to clamp the hanging rope.
5. The mushroom stick hanging device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The end of the clamping rod is concave, which facilitates accurate capture and clamping of the hanging rope.
6. The mushroom stick hanging device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The front of the snap-on pusher has a rectangular recessed groove with a through groove in the middle. The snap-on pusher is slidably connected to the base, and a pusher plate is provided at the rear of the snap-on pusher. When the snap-on pusher retracts to the limit block on the base plate, the recessed groove on the snap-on pusher aligns with the snap-shaped through groove on the snap-on holder, and a single snap falls into the recessed groove.
